Beaches and Resorts

The coastline of Barbati is widely appreciated for its clean, white pebbles and deep, inviting waters. Unlike some of the busier, more commercialised tourist strips on the island, the beaches here offer a more serene atmosphere, perfect for those who want to swap a noisy pool deck for the sound of the sea. It is a fantastic spot for swimming and snorkelling, as the water clarity is truly exceptional.

Getting There and When to Go

Getting to Barbati is straightforward for those flying from the UK. Once you arrive at Corfu airport, transfers are usually well-organised, winding through the island’s verdant landscape to reach the coast. The best time to visit is during the warmer months, typically from late May through to September. Visiting in the shoulder months of June or September often provides the perfect balance of warm, sunny weather and a slightly more relaxed local pace.

Food and Things to Do

Holidays in Greece are defined by their food, and Barbati is no exception. Local tavernas serve up fresh, authentic dishes that make the most of local olive oil, fresh seafood, and seasonal vegetables. It is the perfect setting to sample traditional Greek cuisine while watching the sun set over the horizon.

For those who enjoy a bit of activity, the area is well-suited for light walking, with trails that offer brilliant views of the coastline. If you prefer to stay closer to the water, various watersports are often available, allowing you to get a different perspective of the shore. If you fancy a change of pace, the main town of Corfu is within reach for an afternoon of exploring its historic architecture and winding streets.

Who Should Choose Barbati?

Barbati is an ideal fit for travellers who want to move away from the frantic pace of major resorts without sacrificing amenities. It is particularly popular with couples looking for a romantic backdrop and families who want a safe, beautiful environment for a week or two of quality time together. If you value a scenic environment and a straightforward, stress-free holiday experience, this part of the island is hard to beat.
